ROSES THAT BLOOM IN JUNE. 33 



be a hybrid, between the Eglantine and the Scotch 

 Rose. Rose Jingle has bright rosy red flowers, 

 quite double, grows freely; foliage stronger than 

 the preceding, and equally as fragrant. Double 

 Ped, or Double Scarlet, has a stiff strong habit, 

 with very large dark green foliage ; flowers of a 

 dark rosy red colour, quite large and perfectly 

 double ; its habit is quite dwarf and stiff. Double 

 White Hip, or Siveet Brier; this is too different 

 from the original to be classed with it; they are 

 remotely connected. The growth is very strong ; 

 we have plants seven feet high, making a very 

 superb pillar ; the foliage is large, of a pale silvery 

 green ; the flowers are very perfectly cupped, of a 

 rose-white colour, pendulous, profuse and graceful. 

 The Double Yellow Sweet Brier* will be nearly as 

 difficult to find as the Yellow Moss; all I have seen 

 with that name are mere interlopers, being the Rosa 

 Harrisonii, Williams' Yellow Scotch, and some not 

 even meriting the name of yellow. Strong shoots 

 of the common sweet brier make very good stocks, 

 to bud or graft upon, and are extensively used in 

 England for that purpose. 



* The Austrian Brier, or, as it is called, Single Yellow Sweet 

 Brier, is very common in many old gardens. The flowers are 

 equally as bright as the Harrisonii, with one side of the petals, 

 in certain stages, inclining to red.
